Preliminary estimates indicate hundreds of thousands did indeed brave frigid temperatures to encourage a culture of life and remember the heartbreaking 55 million human lives lost to abortion since the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.

Record-breaking crowds of young activists honoring life and speaking out against a toxic culture that treats children as inconvenient and dispensable — sound newsworthy to you? If hundreds of thousands of pro-life activists march, do the media make a sound?

Dear mainstream media. Half a million will #MarchForLife in DC this morning. And you're covering the on-line dating habits of athletes.

It doesn’t get analyzed, or portrayed as part of any broader social trend. The press doesn’t ask what causes it to remain so strong, even after forty years of being sternly lectured that it’s fighting for a lost cause. Pro-lifers give cheerful interviews to news anchors who would feel more comfortable sitting down with the dictators of North Korea or Iran; they wave happily into cameras held by quivering hands. Media organizations that swoon when leftist organizations quote dubious statistics in some “noble” cause – climate change, gun control – scowl at the simple observation by pro-lifers that America is missing 55 million people due to the post-Roe abortion regime.

But few outlets covered the March for Life with the enthusiasm shown for Occupy protests and anti-gun rallies.

Fortunately, mainstream media bias couldn’t stop the massive social media reach of #MarchForLife. The hashtag trended for much of the day Friday as passionate advocates for the unborn tweeted about the heartening outpouring of support for life and human dignity.

The #marchforlife might not be on TV but it's on Twitter. Can't hide it media.
